Entry

L, of Charterhouse Lane, was accused by Katherin Pade and Thomas Briggs, servants to Mr Willson, vintner, of having given John Allett (Willson's boy) a drink which caused spit and then flux. Dr Winston had then been called, but the boy had died, 'and all yis for a wrinche on ye knee'. L said the boy had palsy. L had been at sea for 10 years. He cited Pertius, hydropique coachmaker, as a cure. The President said that a laundress made pills for L. His drink was 'crocus metallarum made of antimonie and mitre, ye saltpeter evaporated'; his pills were cochiae.
